Monday's NBA slate is a whopping 10 games, which means there are plenty of opportunities to find profitable prop bets. The FantasyLabs Player Props tool currently has 13 bets listed with a Bet Quality of 10. Let's dive in.
Blake Griffin under 7.5 rebounds (-130 at Sportsbook.com)
7:30 p.m. ET
Griffin has gone over 7.5 rebounds just once over his past five games, and that was against the lowly Atlanta Hawks, who rank 26th in rebound rate this year. Toronto is 11th in that regard, and Blake has averaged just four per game over his past two outings. He's averaging fewer than 7.5 per game since joining Detroit and has to fight for them on every possession with perhaps the best rebounder in the league in Andre Drummond. The under seems solid here.
Taurean Prince over 12.5 points (-135 at Bovada)
7:30 p.m. ET
Prince has gone for 14 points in each of his past two games, but more importantly he's posted very high usage rates of 31.2 and 29.5 percent. Further, he's gone over this mark in those games and hasn't even shot the ball well, posting a field goal rate of only 34.5 percent. He's averaging a team-high 6.5 3-pointers in that time, along with 3.5 free throws. With the Hawks injured, tanking, and buying out players, Prince should be a featured part of the offense moving forward.
Andrew Wiggins under 23.5 points (-140 at 5Dimes)
9 p.m. ET
In the first game without Jimmy Butler, Wiggins posted 23 points in a 122-104 win vs. the Chicago Bulls. That was with a bunch of minutes (34.3), higher usage than normal (24.9 percent), efficient shooting (10-of-18), and against a fast-paced team in the Bulls. All the factors aligned, and he still went under 23.5. Today he's against a Sacramento team that ranks 26th in pace and is more easily exploited down low. This line is adjusted a bit too high for Butler's injury, in my opinion.
